Ahsmar and Tan'tro were engaging escorting Assault Gunboats when Farlander requested their assistance in destroying a freighter. Both Y-wings turned tail on the Imperial fighters in their haste to help and were destroyed by the Gunboats, killing the pilots.

Farlander's briefing officer, CommanderLagrane, suspended him from operations pending an official inquest regarding the incident. He was eventually returned to active duty with a warning and a compulsory visit to the flight simulators for some brushing up.
